Jingle Dubbells

[jamie_savoie]

This is the recipe for the 12 beers of christmas.  Came overshooting a little, so at around 7% abv it would be a good idea to let it condition a month+ before drinking.  I cooked the Highbush Cranberries (a tart wild cherry) 5 min with a little water, pass it through a chinois, keep the pulp, added sugar and made a syrup.

Looking forward to it.  Good idea about letting it sit.  My Imperial Stout for the 12 beers of Christmas will be in the 8% range so same would apply.   I hope I can wait a month!
